Alright, this may be a dumb and/or obvious question...
I'm setting up a new iMac 800mhz with a MOTU 828 and my question is, do I need to run vocals, miked amps, drums, and such through a mixer first or can I go directly to the 828 and then to the iMac. If I should not go direct to the 828, will something like a basic Mackie board work (which we use for live performances so it would be a pain to dislodge it from the rest of the PA setup) or would preamps suffice? Thanks in advance. www.theslowtrain.com |

Jimmy, interesting that you say you used the mixer to eliminate the latency. I was under the impression that the 828 was known for its low latency. I guess the point is that 'low' does not equal 'no' latency and nothing is better than a direct monitor signal.
As for Damann's comments above, I don't think I said I could afford to buy another mixer (I wish), what I meant was that I was going to borrow the one from our live setup if need be. That brings me to another question. When you say that 'the mixer of the sequencer should be considered as your desk,' what exactly does that mean? This is obviously a case of me not knowing the vocabulary of what we're talking about here but what are you referring to as the 'sequencer?' The 828? Also, as far as the software question goes, it is true as JimmyDonny says that I have no MIDI needs whatsoever. I noticed, Damann, that in your list of stuff you'd recommend you mentioned Cubase, ProTools, and others but made no mention of DP3. It seems a lot of folks are using DP3 so why are they using it? If it's so great, why wouldn't you recommend it? |
